Review changed: A couple years ago I gave this place 1 ⭐. Since then they've made a lot of improvements... Walled eating area with plenty of seating. Not sure if it's heated but better than other stand alone food carts. Books to read. Cables and outlets to charge devices. Plenty of parking (you just need to go up the driveway). Staff went out of their way to make my visit special. Prices are great. I ordered the shredded pork ban mí (which was filling by itself), got a free hot tea (think Lipton), and only paid $7! There may be a language barrier but it's worth it because you'll love anything you get. I look forward to coming back.

Amazing chay (vegan) cafe that has such an authentically Vietnamese vibe. Coffee with coconut was so good and my banh mi was so fresh and tasty. Delicious and affordable. If you’re vegan or vegetarian, you will love this spot.

An absolute gem! You feel so welcomed when you walk on the property - beautiful grounds (be mindful of the temple). Great seating inside and outside with lots of shade, lovely plants, and beautiful statues. Fresh food prepared with care - my favorite was the vegan pork ban mi (highly recommend), their mock meats are amazing. Delicious coconut Viet coffee as well! What a gem.

Wow, don’t you love unexpected gems you stumble upon? Hit up the grocery outlet on 121st & Division and typed in vegan near me. I found the best vegan bann mi I’ve had in Portland! Vietnamese iced coffee with coconut milk, tofu spring rolls, and a fried tofu bang mi for $15.58. Sweetest person working and a very cool location! Give them some love!!!

This place is great. I think it’s all vegan except for possibly having condensed milk as an option for coffee.
It’s in a Buddhist temple with a pretty courtyard.
The food is tasty and portions are generous. For $30, which included a 20% tip, two of us ate and still had leftovers.

This location supports a small Vietnamese Buddhist Temple with only two monks. As far as I know it is all vegan including the bread and the food is also sensitive (Allium) free. Some of the condiments are not but the food is. I think the food is very good.

I ordered delivery thru uber eats. Everything was fresh, tasty and packaged well. They also threw in a free herbal tea, a sample of the their lemongrass chicken, and two sticky rice desserts! You can tell they put a lot of love into their food. The special bahn mi was packed with veggies and had a lot of flavor. The steam bun was huge and also packed with veggies. They even gave a little container of sweetener so you can sweeten your ice tea how you like. It was a really nice touch.

The best vegan bahn mi in Portland! The person who runs the restaurant is the nicest person ever. I usually get the tofu bahn mi and egg rolls, and both are delicious. I also love the vegan chicken, and the iced tea with coconut milk. I liked the salad rolls too, but they were a little heavy on the basil. Thank you!
